This provocative volume updates L' Abate's signature ideas, focusing
in particular on the concepts of concreteness and specificity as basic
tenets of evaluation and therapy. Noting society's growing familiarity
with technology, current concerns about treatment accessibility, and
widespread interest in wellness promotion, he argues for
remote-writing exercises targeted to specific client issues and
monitored by the clinician instead of relying on traditional
talk-based therapy. This attention to concreteness and specificity in
baseline evaluation, post-treatment evaluation, and follow-up, the
author asserts, is central to making treatment replicable, less
subject to impasses or missteps, and more professional, with the
potential of changing how therapy is conducted as well as how
clinicians are trained and practice. The book's framework includes
rationales, models, empirical data, and examples of prescriptive
remote-writing exercises. Featured in the coverage: Online
interventions: here to stay and to grow. Verifiability in clinical
psychology practices. Present status and future perspectives for
personality and family assessment. Practice without theory/combining
theory with practice. Toward a unifying framework of human
relationships PIPES: Programmed Interactive Practice Exercise and
Prescriptions. Concreteness and Specificity in Clinical Psychology
will bring a new level of discussion and debate among clinical
psychology practitioners and practicing psychotherapists in private
practice and the public sector.
